Inflorescence
17" x 8" x 9"
I started this vessel while vacationing in the Sierra Mountains, California, surrounded by jagged summits, dense forests, and blossoming meadows.

The flowering plants, gracefully unfurling, inspired this piece.

 
   

I was intrigued by the idea of weaving a tri-shaped vessel. The number 3, a triad, is an ancient and sacred archetype which represents many things in different cultures including the 3-fold nature of the Goddess and the 3 realms of lower-middle and upper worlds.

I wanted to connect the triads and used hand-carved stones to provide the connections.

The center stone is a rare Eudialyte from the Kola Peninsula in Russia.

The stone's intriguing patchwork design of vibrant burgundy and black influenced me as the basket unfolded.
